Kolkata: “Dogfights” – or, more precisely, battle detainees on pet dogs – between their pet owners and caregivers in the city have begun to reach the police station and court.
With only 0.5% of pet owners throughout the annoying city to register their pets with a license from Kolkata Municipal Corporation, prove the ownership of pets, more often than not, if not really impossible.
Some collapses have found this in a difficult way in the past, when caregivers while refuse to part with animals.
The absence of proof of ownership helps their case.
In one example, the Kolkata Court provides pet trustees to caregivers, with owners only permitted to visit rights.
In other cases, the Green Golf Police must mediate in the settlement outside the court to hand over pets to the Pet-Creche owner.
Private company executives, Debjani Ghosh (name change) who lives in South Kolkata Rental House, must often take a long professional trip.
During this office tour, he used to keep labrador his pet in a creche.
A month ago, when he left, he kept his 18-month-old pet at a Krephe at Rajendra Prasad Colony.
When he returned to go home, the owner Creche refused to let go of Labrador, said he had developed a bond with it.
Furious, Debjani submitted a complaint with the Green Police Station golf.
With Debjani and the owner of Creche who was unrelenting, the police told them that they had to refer to the problem to court.
That’s when Debjani has a second thought.
Given his work, he decided to let the owner Creche have his pet.
A police officer, who handled this case, said: “He only has one request – to be allowed to meet his pet while in the city.
The owner Creche agreed.
This case did not have to be decided by the court.” Other disputes must be resolved in court.
In this case, a Judge Judicial Kolkata has directed that the caregiver would be a “guardian” of pets, because he had taken responsibility to keep Labrador at home twice than one and a half months, when the owner left Kolkata.
Caregivers, residents of the Ballygunge Circular Road, have agreed to keep the one-year-old dog out of compassion, and refused to acknowledge the previous ownership.
This case first referred to the United Minister, who ordered a state animal activist to intervene.
However, both owners and caregivers insist and go to the Ballygunge police station.
The police decided to take the matter to the court, because no one supports a peaceful settlement.
Even though the court allowed caregivers to look after the dog in his ownership, Ballygunge-based entrepreneurs had allowed dog owners to pay visits whenever he would.
According to Rajib Ghosh, an animal activist who cared for the Dhapa Dhapa KMC dog, such cases are often referred.
According to Ghosh, a problem for pet owners appear in cases like most owners don’t care to get a license for their pets from the KMC health department.
“It is mandatory for pet owners to secure a license to establish ownership so that in the case of legal battles on pets, it can force claim,” said Ghosh.
The KMC source said only about 100 people in Kolkata had a license for “genealogical dogs”, although there were more than 20,000 dogs.
